Mesenchymal perivascular cells in immunity and disease.

abstract：:Type I diabetes has resisted direct genetic analysis in humans but two excellent models of disease in rodents provide a more readily manipulated alternative for study. These rodent models are being used successfully to localize the genes that are involved in disease pathogenesis in preparation for positional cloning. ...
